I gather From Farmers Review: from the last United States census reports (1900) the following of Interest to dairymen: The number of farms In Illinois, 264,151; the number of farms in Illinois reporting dairy cattle, 230,625; the number of cows reported in Illinois, 1,007,664; the value of their products, $29,638,619, or about twenty-nin- e dollars per cow. The Illinois cows average only 454 gallons of milk, or 3,850 pounds, for each cow per year. I find the ideal cow gives 2,754 pounds of milk in thirty days. I find Kansas cows average less than twenty dollars per cow; also Nebraska and South Dakota. Iowa has 1,423,648 cows; products, $27,616,870; average $f!L30 per cow. Minnesota has 753,632 cows; products, $16,623,460; average, $23.00 per - , cow, Vermont has 270,194 cows; products, $9,321,389; average, $36.00 per cow. New York has 1,601,608 cows; products, $55,474,155; average, $37.00 per cow. New Hampshire has 115,036 cows, products, $5,591,272; average, $55.00 ;per cow, I find that In our state the three 'principal counties are McHenry, with 2,598 farms, having 62,593 cows, at $2,243,974, an average of $43 Jper cow; Cook, with 4.491 farms, on (which are 36,030 cows valued at an average of $44 per cow; and Kane, with 2,163 farms, on which are 42,744 cows valued at $2,177,289, an laverage of $50 per cow. It is generally accepted that It costs $30 and over to feed a cow a year. In Mr. Glover's work of testing aud keeping records for one year of over three hundred cows, he finds the extreme to be: One cow charged $2.07 to make 100 poundn of milk,, or .62 cents for one pound of butter , fat, The best cow 28 cents for WO pounds of milk, or 6 cents per pound of butter fat, and the H. B. Curler herd averaged a net profit of twenty-sidollars per head over and above the cost of feed. Dairymen! Study these figures, then weed out the poor unprofitable cows and take better care of and feed a more balanced ration to those that pay a profit Joseph Newman, President Illinois Dairymen's Association. val-Uo- d x ! .I.... i Inevitable Mistakes. that has not had experience In poultry raising should Invest heavily In that business. The only safe way Is to start small and Increase the inflock as rapidly as experience creases. The novice generally starts In with the firm resolve to succeed from the start. Frequently he gets all the Information he can from books and from practical poultrymen, and he vainly Imagines that the Information so acquired will save him from mistakes. But the mistakes are made Just the same, though they are doubtless fewer on account of what has been gleaned from the experiences of others. People must have experience by themselves to really fit them to cope with the numerous situations they must face. Letithe novice set it down ex a certainty that he will make mistakes of a most serious nature, and that as a result' of such mistakes great losses will result. In some cases these losses will be greater than the profits for the entire year In which they occur. We tell the novice of this before they occur, so that he may not be entirely discouraged and give up the effort when they do occur. Even people (hat have been brought up on farms encounter these discouraging experiences when they try to handle fowls In considerable numbers. The ones that have had a little experience la raising poultry are the ones most likely to Invest considerable sums In an equipment before they are really competent to manage such equipment Because they have had some experience they Imagine themselves to be experts. Most of the failures are due to Inexperience, but the people that have failed are net usually willing to admit this even to themselves.
